explores the possibilities of broadening current conceptualizations of literacy to include the full array of the communicative
arts (reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing) and to focus on the visual arts of drama, dance, film, art, video, and
computer technology

How ethnic identity and gender figure in building the embedded identities of youth in different contexts is examined, focusing
on the self-concepts of inner-city youth. The voices of urban youth argue that their embedded identities, or multilayered
self-conceptions, represent far more than simple labels of ethnic or racial membership. After an introduction "Identity and
Inner-City Youth" by the editors, the following chapters are provided: (1) "Ethnicity and Gender in Theory and Practice: The
Youth Perspective" (S.B. Heath and M.W. McLaughlin); (2) "Embedded Identities: Enabling Balance in Urban Contexts" (M.W. McLaughlin);
(3) "Dances of Identity: Finding an Ethnic Self in the Arts" (A. Ball and S.B. Heath); (4) "Gangs, Social Control, and Ethnicity:
Ways To Redirect" (J.D. Vigil); (5) "Child Saving and Children's Cultures at Century's End" (G.A. Fine and J. Mechling); (6)
"Collaborate or Go It Alone? Tough Decisions for Youth Policy" (J. Langman and M.W. McLaughlin); (7) "The Winnowing of Organizations"
(T. James); (8) "Misperceptions of Gender and Youth: Learning Together, Learning Apart" (E. Hansot); and (9) "Casting the
Self: Frames for Identity and Dilemmas for Policy" (M.W. McLaughlin and S.B. Heath). (Sld)

"The authors weave together narratives of practice and theory that draw on their own field work and that of a novice ethnographer.
Their stories take us outside the usual progression of how-to-do ethnography, which moves from research question to data collection
and analysis to publication. Readers learn of the motivations and mishaps behind the author's own classic ethnographic studies
of language, multimodel literacies, and community practices. The authors use their stories to illustrate the power of curiosity,
connection, and continuity in ethnographic pursuits. Keeping language and literacy at the center of attention, this volume
offers practical ways for ethnographers to sustain their attention to a constant comparative perspective and to patters of
co-occurence in language structures, uses, and values. Appropriate for new and experienced researchers, this readable volume
includes examples of ethnographic studies in Australia, Iran, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States."--BOOK

"Childhood and family life have changed significantly in recent decades. What is the nature of these changes? How have they
affected the use of time, space, work and play? In what ways have they influenced face-to-face talk and the uses of technology
within families and communities? Eminent anthropologist Shirley Brice Heath sets out to find answers to these and similar
questions, tracking the lives of 300 black and white working-class families as they reshaped their lives in new locations,
occupations and interpersonal alignments over a period of thirty years. From the 1981 recession through the economic instabilities
and technological developments of the opening decade of the twenty-first century, Shirley Brice Heath shows how families constantly
rearrange their patterns of work, language, play and learning in response to economic pressures. This outstanding study is
a must-read for anyone interested in family life, language development and social change"--

"The Handbook of Research on Teaching Literacy Through the Communicative and Visual Arts, Volume II brings together state-of-the-art
research and practice on the evolving view of literacy as encompassing not only reading, writing, speaking, and listening,
but also the multiple ways through which learners gain access to knowledge and skills. It forefronts as central to literacy
education the visual, communicative, and performative arts, and the extent to which all of the technologies that have vastly
expanded the meanings and uses of literacy originate and evolve through the skills and interests of the young."--Publisher's
